    Blessing of the Third Advent Candle

    Reader 1(Ms. Priscila): The joyful Sunday in Advent (known as “Gaudete”) is represented
    by rose (or pink) instead of the penitential purple color. Each night during the third week the
    mother of the family lights the pink, as well as the two previously burned purple candles,
    after the following prayer has been said.
    O Lord, we beg Thee, incline Thy ear to our prayers and enlighten the darkness of our minds
    by the grace of Thy visitation. Through Christ our Lord.
    All (Annie Laoshi): AMEN
    Leader (Ms. Vicky) : Let sing our opening song.
    On Jordan’s Bank

    1. On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry


    announces that the Lord is nigh.
    Awake and harken, for he brings
    glad tidings of the King of kings!

    2. Then cleansed be every life from sin:


    make straight the way for God within,
    and let us all our hearts prepare
    for Christ to come and enter there.

    3. We hail you as our Savior, Lord,


    our refuge and our great reward.
    Without your grace we waste away
    like flowers that wither and decay.

    4. Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,


    and make us rise to fall no more.
    O let your face upon us shine
    and fill the world with love divine.

    5. All praise to you, eternal Son,


    whose advent has our freedom won,
    whom with the Father we adore,
    and Holy Spirit, evermore.

    Opening Prayer

    Leader (Ms. Vicky) : + In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

    All (Annie Laoshi): Amen


    Reading 2 (Annie Laoshi)

    The Proclamation from the Gospel according to St. Luke

    But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said.” I bring you good news that will
    bring great joy to all people.

    Leader (Ms. Vicky) : The angels made a big announcement on the first Christmas, calling
    Jesus’ birth ‘good news’ that would bring ‘great joy’. Everything we do to get ready for
    Christmas can fill us with joy about Jesus. When we’re joyful, we, like the angels, can help
    spread that good news.
    Reflection (Annie Laoshi): Let share the joy to other people especially to those feeling
    depressed, the oppressed, the imprisoned and the abandoned. Let’s share the joyful birth of
    Jesus especially in this season of Christmas.

    Light the Third Candle (Pink) (Mr. Wawan)


    All (Annie Laoshi): Three candles, burning bright,
    chasing away the darkness from light.
    Three candles, glowing light,
    The blessing of God, giving new sight.

    Concluding Prayer:
    Leader (Ms. Vicky) Dear God,
    All (Annie Laoshi): we pray for the joy that is found in Jesus, that those who seek it may
    truly find it. May we celebrate in the joy found in You. Amen

    Leader (Ms. Vicky) Mary Queen of All.


    All (Annie Laoshi): Pray for us.

    Leader (Ms. Vicky) + In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

    All (Annie Laoshi): Amen
